Our Week In The Web: September 5, 2014

More than a few of you were curious why we gave the Islamic State / ISIS / ISIL a big share of our air time this week. And it's a question worth asking. We think we agree with our guest, Patrick Skinner, who pointed out that ISIS "is like a cancer. If you cancer and don't talk about it, you still have cancer." It can be hard to cover difficult, violent topics like ISIS, especially when a large part of their aim in these violent acts is to garner international attention. However, we think it's always worth a closer look. In a scary, confusing world, we can always learn more and move through, together.
